seen. The work of removing the charred
corpses from the ruins began at 1880 p.
m. Saturday, upon the arrival of Cover
BOZ Pingree, one of the members of the
| Vermont Railroad Commission. With
the Governor were the President
of the Vermont Central and other
high officers of the road. These official
inspectors visited the blackened wreck
| upon the ice, picking their way carefully
| Among the debris of the sleeper Puritan
| they discovered the remains of no less
| than six bodies, which they could pick
out sometimes by their distinct resem-
! blance to the human form, and sometimes
by seeing fragments of thigh bones and
heads. An undertaken of Hartford &C
companied the party. He and his men
picked out the remains as fast as posi-
BILE, and put each body separately IL a
box. Three charred bodies were so thor
oughly burned it was impossible even to
tell the sex in some instances.
They picked up these bodies, or rather
what remained of them, aud went to the
next burned car, the Pullmsa car St.
Adams, which came from Springfield.
In this car they could only make out
three bodies. They were reduced to such
a state that they could scarcely be
discerned from the rest Of the debris.
No doubt the bodies OF many persons
were totally consumed. These bodies
were, like the rest, tenderly placed in
boxes and left on the ice waiting removal
to the dead house.
From this the party started for the
third car from the rear, the day coach,
but as this was entirely submerged they
could make no investigation.
The fourth Car from the rear, or the
last remaining one, was next visited.
Here were the most horrifying scenes of
all. No less than twelve bundles of flesh
charred out of ell human shape were
found. In the rear end of what had been
the car six bodies were found all punched
together. The passengers had huddled
around the stove to keep warm, as the
night was very cold, or else they had
tried to make their escape from
the rear door and could not get out.
